Cyberdyne Systems is a producer of integrated control boards for a variety of industries. Their most in-demand product, which integrates their newly developed AI assistant, is the XI-3631 control board. Due to high demand for the control board across multiple industries and its mission-critical role, Cyberdyne uses a tiered pricing structure to prevent any single business from purchasing the entire production run. If a company buys 1 million units, they cost $1 million. If a company buys 2 million units, every million units cost $2 million. The control boards are sold only in quantities of 1 million units. If a company placed an order for 1 million units, their cost would be $1 million. If a company placed an order for 7 million units, their cost would be $49 million. Orders are grouped annually, so there's no advantage to placing multiple separate orders for one million units. The producer does allow for parent and subsidiary companies to place independent orders, as long as orders placed by the subsidiary are smaller than any orders placed by the parent company. Three companies, Mellow Destinations, Inc., Transnational Genetic Technologies, Inc., and The Voight-Kampff Corporation each have a subsidiary company. The three subsidiary companies are General Products, Omni Consumer Products, and Multi National United. The subsidiaries do not necessarily match with the parent companies in this order. All six companies placed an order for control boards from Cyberdyne. By a strange coincidence, each parent company spent $75 million more than their respective subsidiary company. Mellow Destinations, Inc. purchased 27 million more units than Omni Consumer Products, and Transnational Genetic Technologies, Inc. purchased 9 million more units than General Products. Which of the following statements is true? A) Mellow Destinations, Inc. is the parent company of Multi National United B) Transnational Genetic Technologies, Inc. is the parent company of Multi National United C) The Voight-Kampff Corporation is the parent company of Omni Consumer Products D) Mellow Destinations, Inc. is the parent company of General Products E) Transnational Genetic Technologies, Inc. is the parent company of General Products F) B and C G) A and E H) The relationship between parent and subsidiary companies cannot be determined with the provided information
